ELGi EG PM oil-lubricated screw compressors assure lifecycle value

By OEM Update Editorial June 18, 2024 6:54 pm IST

The EG PM Series offers customers a range of intelligent features engineered to reduce energy consumption. ELGi reaffirms its commitment to delivering advanced compressed air solutions to meet the evolving needs of the global manufacturing sector.

The EG PM series is customised to deliver superior performance and energy efficiency, providing unmatched life cycle value across varying load capacities, even at 100 percent load conditions, unlike many compressors that operate below 80 percent load capacity. 

An upgrade to the EG Series range with the introduction of the EG PM (Permanent Magnet) oil-lubricated screw air compressors is available from 11- 45 kW. The state-of-the-art EG PM is poised to deliver up to 15 percent improved efficiency gains, aside from an incremental FAD or free air delivery of 16 percent for every customer. The EG PM Series offers customers a range of intelligent features engineered to reduce energy consumption and, as a result, reduce environmental impact. The high-efficiency drive system incorporates a proprietary ultra-efficient IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motor tailored specifically for ELGi airends. The motor efficiencies between 96.5 and 97.6 percent are well above the IE5 levels, resulting in maximised energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. 

The directly coupled system offers optimised lower motor and air speeds, ensuring synchronous operation and optimal performance, which is particularly effective in variable speed applications. An intelligent thermal valve with an ambient temperature sensor maintains oil at ideal operating temperatures, preventing excessive heating in colder months and improving energy efficiency. The Neuron 4 controller offers a comprehensive solution for superior and reliable compressor operation. Equipped with an industrial-grade 7-inch touchscreen interface and intelligent algorithms, the Neuron 4 is designed to optimise energy usage, enhance overall operational efficiency, ensure safe and controlled operations, and facilitate proactive maintenance.

Bhavesh Karia, President ISAAME and SEA, Elgi Equipments Ltd., states, “At ELGi, our commitment to ‘Always Better’ drives us to constantly improve our products, maximising efficiency and dependability to lower lifecycle expenses and lessen the environmental footprint of our customers’ operations. Designed for a broad section of the manufacturing industry, the EG PM Series spans the 11 to 45 kW range, offering significant energy savings and decreased carbon emissions.”

The new EG PM range comes with ELGi’s superior warranty package, which includes a 10-year warranty on the airend, five years on other compressor components, three years on the VFD, and one year on electrical and rubber parts. 

Bhavesh explains, “Our extended warranty demonstrates the dependability of our products and offers our customers extra peace of mind. With our thorough warranty coverage and broad channel partner network, we guarantee proximity to our customers, ensuring swift and effective service responses. This approach helps to minimise lifecycle costs.”
